"How can this be! It's really too much!" Anzi chased Yinglan'er to the back garden.

Seeing that Yinglan'er was completely wet from crying, she handed over her sweat towel: "You have been taking care of Qingyu here for two months, and you have done your best and taken care of everything. Get up early to cook, each meal is four or five dishes, and every day ginseng soup is made in a different way, without the same thing. Even if the taste is not particularly good, there is no merit and hard work! How can he do this to you. ”

Ying Lan'er sobbed while listening to Anzi hugging herself, and suddenly raised her head and shouted coldly: "Get out!

"No! No!" Anzi hurriedly waved his hand: "My point is that you have taken care of them so hard for two months, and now Sister Qingyu is well." They're leaving, but they don't want to take you with them anymore. When I first came to Qianhua Xingfang, why didn't I say that I couldn't take you. Now that you've used up people, it's like slapping your ass and leaving, it's just like a beast. Really, hypocrites, treacherous villains!"

"Yes, it's a hypocrite! It's a treacherous villain!" Ying Lan'er sobbed and scolded Jiang Chongjing, but she cried even more sadly. Her handkerchief had already been stained, and she no longer cared about her image, so she simply wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"In order to please her, I was careful every day, and I didn't dare to speak out loud, and I didn't dare to eat two bowls of food. I tried so hard to change myself, why can't he see it!Woo woo woo woo" The more she cried, the harder she became: "He doesn't like me to wipe things with my sleeve." I'll just wipe my nose with my sleeve, what's the matter? I'm willing!" With that, she wiped her tears with her sleeve again.

Thinking about the hardships of these days, it is an unspeakable grievance. Now she no longer suppresses herself, she releases her brain, and she cries even more, this is the real her, the unrestrained Yinglan'er.

"Scold it, scold if you want, it's okay to scold when you're done. Anzi will not comfort people, thinking that it may be more comfortable for Yinglan'er to vent.

"Jiang Chongjing, you're not a human being! You're a turtle bastard, a hypocrite! A treacherous villain! You're a big bastard! You're not as good as bullshit! I'm really blind! A turtle bastard! No, it's a king nine eggs, a king ten eggs!" It's strange to say, this scolding comes out, Yinglan'er feels a lot better, the more she scolds, the happier she becomes, the more she scolds, the more addicted she becomes, and the louder she scolds.

"Ahem!"

was scolding, and a low cough came from behind her, it was Jiang Chongjing.

He glanced at An Zi, a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Brother An, you go out first, I have something to say to Lan'er!" He had a straight face, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Yinglan'er's face, and looked down at the stone bench.

"Oh!" Looking at Jiang Chongjing's serious eyes, An Zi thought for a while, responded in a daze, and turned around to leave.

"Don't go!" Ying Lan'er was angry and shouted: "If you have anything to say, just say it in front of him." Anyway, no matter how ugly it is, I've heard it all. I don't care anymore! You big liar, big bastard!"

"Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of me! I will help Brother Bing'er and guard Sister Lan'er!" Anzi turned back and stood behind Yinglan'er, with his hands on his hips: "If you bully Sister Lan'er again, I ...... I'll tell Brother Bing'er, let Brother Bing'er beat you again. ”

"Hmm~!" Jiang Chongjing was silent for a while: "That's okay, let's talk about it, everyone will have less misunderstanding." ”

He never dared to look at Ying Lan'er's eyes, thinking that he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"This time by chance, Qingyu took the Wuchi Great Tonic Pill, and with the help of the owner of Cen Fang, he got a lot better. But the owner of Cen said that the disease could not be broken. Now that the pill is still effective, she can still be like a normal person. As soon as the effect of the medicine passes, I am afraid that even the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save it. So I want to take advantage of this time to finish everything she wants to do with Qingyu. ”

After saying that, he suddenly dared to raise his head again, summoned up all his courage, and made a decision that he should have made although he was unwilling: "We are going to a place where you can't go, and we will come back in as little as three months or as long as a year." If you are still willing, I will marry you!"

"Ahh "You...... You...... Seriously, not lying to me?"

"I swear by the ancestors of my Jiang family. I don't lie to you. Ying Lan'er listened to him admit it and rejoiced. Suddenly, after the rain, I wiped my face clean with my cuffs, but I just wiped half of it, and suddenly remembered something important. He lowered his cuffs, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it on his face.

"That's good, since Brother Chongjing, you've thought it all through. Then you can go! I'll wait for you!" Regardless of the fact that her face was already crying, Yinglan'er still pretended to be a lady again.

After Jiang Chongjing finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Anzi and retreated.

Looking at his distant back, Ying Lan'er laughed happily, and said while waving her hand: "Brother Chongjing, you have to be careful on the road! I'll wait for you!"

Anzi stood on the side in a cold sweat, buried his head in the yard, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph~!woman!"

sent away the other Qingmiao four factions, sent away the three brothers of the Mo family, sent away Jiang Chongjing and Qingyu, and finally even the craftsmen who came to repair the courtyard also left. The whole courtyard was deserted again.

There is the careful care of Yinglan'er and Anzi, and the secret medicine of Qianhua Xingfang. Li Bing's injuries have also improved a lot, he can walk when he gets out of bed, and he can drink soup and food. Ying Lan'er took care of him like taking care of Jiang Chongjing and Qingyu, taking care of everything. But this relationship is different, she only has brotherly friendship with Li Bing.

By the time the people from the Meridian Sect came to get the medicine, it was already eight days later. However, this time it was not a disciple who came, but the "Wen Sword Sword Master", one of the four sword masters of the Meridian Sect. She arrived late at night, and wanted to rush back early the next morning, but was stopped by the owner of Cen Fang and explained Li Bing's matter.

"Ah, the heir of Sword Master Sun?" Sword Master Wen and Master Cen Fang were talking in the garden, both of them were women, close in age, and close friends in the boudoir. Her real name is "Song Wushuang". In his early thirties, he was dressed in a dark blue satin robe, and a goose yellow cloak, his hair was tied up, without the slightest embellishment, his face was broad, and his voice was sweet, not like a martial artist. She is seventeen years younger than Sun Wuyi, and she is the younger sister of the "Wu" generation of the Meridian Sect.

Hearing that Sun Wuyi accepted apprentices, she was still suspicious, but when she talked about going mad, she believed this. The two of them found Li Bing again to detail the beginning and end of the matter.

Since it is a solution to the strange internal strength, although Song Wushuang knows some of it, he can't say it all, so he still has to go back to the sect and ask the people who know all the inside information.

From the Thousand Flowers Apricot Workshop to the Northern Meridian Sect, it is not too far, but it is not close, and it can be reached in six hours. At the moment, Li Bing's injury is not very good, and he can't ride a horse, so he can only find a board car. One red and one white, two horses were pulling in front, and Li, An, and Ying were sitting on the car. As a result, the speed is slower.

Song Wushuang rode in front, and Anzi set up the carriage and walked side by side. Along the way is the boundless prairie, although it is a cold winter day, but today the sun is abundant, and the people who shine are comfortable and happy. Song Wushuang is enthusiastic, and the people are also kind, and the four of them chatted while walking, wanting to talk very happily.

"So, did you put the Tao Sword in Chang'an?" Song Wushuang asked.

Li Bing was slightly embarrassed, and responded: "At first, I didn't know where the Meridian Sect was, and I was afraid that I would be entrusted by my predecessor. put the Tao sword in Chang'an to protect everything. The next time I come to the Meridian Sect, I'll bring the sword. ”

This is naturally Li Bing's lie, I don't know if I am afraid of being embarrassed, or if I feel that I have failed Sun Wuyi's entrustment, and I am cowardly. He hid the loss of Tao Jian. Now that he already knows the whereabouts of the sword, he still has to find the sword he lost! Anzi also knows about this, but since Li Bing doesn't say it, he won't say it.

"That's fine. Since Master Sun Jian has passed on your internal strength, he has passed on the sword to you. You are the new sword master, and the sword is naturally yours to use. You don't have to pay it back. "Song Wushuang has already regarded Li Bing as his own person of the Meridian Sect.

But does Sun Wuyi really want Li Bing to be the new sword master? I'm afraid not. He was short at the time, and he just wanted people to send the sword back, and then passed on the gong so that Li Bing could protect Anzi.

Others don't know Anzi's life experience, and they don't know that Sun Wuyi is dead. As a result, this not only gave the sword but also passed on the gong, but everyone would be mistaken. Even Li Bing thought that Sun Wuyi was going to take him as an apprentice, and there was a big misunderstanding.

"Speaking of which, you are still the first sword master among the new generation of disciples. The four sword masters before you were all disciples of the 'Wu' generation. Song Wushuang said with a smile.

"Our Northern Meridian Sect also has a history of more than a hundred years. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went on expeditions everywhere, and Rouran also became involved with the Turks. Tired of the endless wars, a swordsmith of the 'soldier' lineage moved to the far north with his family, and finally settled on the edge of a beautiful lake and founded the Northern Meridian Sect. Whether it's day or night, moonlit or sunny, the lake is beautiful and intoxicating. So it was named the Northern Meridian Sect. ”

"I see, I'm really curious about what the lake is like. "Yinglan'er is on this prairie, her heart is relaxed, and she thinks of a better beauty, and she yearns for it.

"When you get to the sect, you will see it. Make sure you like it. ”

"I've always heard you say, Sword Master of the Four Swords, what does this mean. "Since Yinglan'er knew that Jiang Chongjing was going to marry her, it was like a different person. Talking and laughing along the way, the mood is always sweet, like a cheerful swallow. With such a Yinglan'er, Li Bing looked very happy for her.

"The Meridian Sect has four swords, called Wen, Tao, Wu, and Luo, which are widely known in the rivers and lakes. The one who holds these four swords in the Meridian Sect is called the Sword Master. Saying that, Song Wushuang pointed to the "Wen Sword" on his horse's belly, and looked at the scabbard, which was exactly the same as Tao Jian.

"Speaking of these four swords, there is also a legendary story. Anyway, it's still early, so Song Wushuang simply told the story.

The four of them made their way to the north, and the dark green grassland had gradually disappeared, replaced by a snow-white patch, and occasionally one or two birch forests were seen, also bare, and the treetops were covered with snow. It is indeed much norther than Jilu Prefecture.

"When the Meridian Sect was founded, the first head of the sect was the sword-forging master of the soldier family, and there were few people in the entire rivers and lakes who were more powerful than him. However, the next few generations are not as good as the next. The location of the Meridian Sect is cheap, there are few people, and there are naturally few disciples. There are no talents.

However, in the Zhenguan period, there was a genius, the mastery of forging skills passed down by his ancestors, even in the Central Plains, he was famous, and he was nicknamed 'Bihai Craftsman Sect'. However, this head is indeed a sword idiot, casting swords all day long, not casting other weapons, and rarely going to the Central Plains, otherwise I am afraid that his fame will be greater.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, fighting everywhere and breaking the Turks. This conquest naturally requires more blades, and the weapons supervisor can't make so many, so he goes to the people to buy them. At that time, the largest one was the 'Sanmou Palace' of the military sect in Luoyang. Weapons purchased by the Ordnance Superintendent in the civilian sector. Seven or eight out of ten are from the Sanmou Palace.

This makes money, and naturally some people are red-eyed. Those who are good at forging weapons, in addition to the soldiers, there are also the Mo family and the fire chong lineage. The Mo family is chivalrous and does not account for these. But some small sects that are angry are unwilling.

There are many sects, but they are not large, and they are the best at making things. The scope of the dabbling is also very varied, what kind of fine gold, stone tools, firearms, hidden weapons, knives, guns, sticks, war armor. Whatever it is, they make it.

The imperial court purchased at a high price, and this day was a big bargain, how could there be a reason for a sect to take advantage of it. So many sects of the Huochong Pulse jointly came to the door to challenge, and after an appointment to forge, they wanted to prove that the forging skills of the soldiers were not better than the Huochong Pulse. The Ordnance Superintendent also received the news that the winning side could get the next three years of procurement.

Although Sanmou Palace has some ability, it has no confidence to deal with so many sects, so it asks for help from other sects in the military family. It's a pity that when the Sanmou Palace was favorable at that time, he didn't remember to give a piece of the pie to the same sect, and he ate alone, which had already caused public anger. Among the more than 50 sects of the soldiers, there was not a single one willing to help. are waiting to see if they lose the competition and fall into the well.

Later, the head of the Sanmou Palace personally came to the Meridian Sect and wanted to invite the 'Bihai Craftsman Sect' to come out of the mountain. At that time, although the head of the family thought of his sincerity, he still didn't want to get involved in the dispute, so he politely refused. But at that time, the head of the Sanluo Palace took out something and made conditions, but the Bihai Craftsman Sect agreed.

That thing was a very huge 'Nine Sinking Cloud Mine', with a snow-white body, like jade. Yunjiao ore is already extremely rare, and it is a good mineral material for forging sharp blades, which is better than Xuantie. This Yunjiao mine has a characteristic, it will appear faint silver streaks after soaking in the bottom of the cold pool for a long time, and the denser the streaks, the better the condition. In one inch, there is a stripe, which is called a sinking cloud mine. There are nine of them, which are called the Nine Shenyun Kyauk Mine, which has been counted as a rare treasure.

The head of the Sanmou Palace promised that no matter if he won or lost, as long as he helped, this piece of Jiushen Yunjiao Mine would be handed over to the Beihai Craftsman Immortal to use in the competition. Regardless of whether you win or lose in the end, the forged weapons belong to the Meridian Sect, and the remaining materials also belong to the Meridian Sect.

The Meridian Sect is located in a remote area, and the Bihai Craftsman Immortal is unwilling to forge swords for dignitaries and dignitaries, and he has been poor for a long time, and even the Xuantie has rarely been used, not to mention the legendary Nine Shen Yunjiao Mine, since the opening of the Meridian Sect, I am afraid that I have not even seen it.

Bihai Artisan Sect has always wanted to forge a weapon that can be on the sword list of the 'Tianyan Pavilion' or the 'Tianji Palace' Craftsman Immortal List, but it is suffering from the lack of good ore, and after fighting the sword for a lifetime, it has reached sixty, and it has not been able to get what it wants. Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of him, the Bihai Craftsman Sect has responded in one bite. ”

The three of them were all fascinated, and Li Bing interjected: "The sword list of Tianyan Pavilion, and the list of craftsmen and immortals of Tianji Palace, what is it?"

"Tianji Palace and Tianyan Pavilion are the two largest sects in the vertical and horizontal lineage. Zongheng Yimai is good at finding out information, has a complex intelligence network, and makes a living by selling intelligence.

Tianyan Pavilion has three lists: 'Sword List', 'Sword List', and 'Wonder Soldier List'. It is used to list the best 100 swords, 100 swords, and 100 other weapons in the world, not only to look at the quality of the weapon, but also to consider its historical background, the ability of the owner, and other factors. (In one volume, Ziru is the holy daughter of Tianyan Pavilion, see chapter 12 of one volume for details)

Tianji Palace is different, there is only one list, all the weapons are mixed together, not looking at the reason, only looking at the forging technology, the best 100 weapons in a hundred years can be on the list. Once on the list, that blacksmith can also have the title of 'Craftsman Immortal'. Otherwise, it can only be called 'Craftsman'. All the forgers are proud that their weapons are on these lists.

It was the day of the competition. It is the Sanmou Palace against the powerful faction of the entire Huochong lineage. Each side forges nine weapons, and the one with the best weapon wins. However, it was said that it was really a grand event that had never been seen in the forging world, and the ores taken out on both sides alone were eighteen different rare treasures. Many blacksmiths have never touched it in their lifetime.

On the day of the competition, the Bihai Craftsman Sect planned to use such a large piece of Nine Shenyun Kyaukite to forge a 'heavy sword'. He took the longest. By the time he was about to succeed, the other seventeen had already completed the competition.

On the side of the Sanmou Palace, except for the 'Nian Stick' forged by the Great Elder, which is indeed a good weapon of the 'Zheng Second Grade', the weapons forged by the other Dharma Protector disciples can only be barely regarded as the 'Zheng Third Grade'. Although the output of weapons in the Sanmou Palace is large. But there are not many masters. ”

"What does this grade mean?" Li Bing was puzzled again. However, this time it was not Song Wushuang who answered, it was indeed Yinglan'er.

The so-called grade is a rough criterion for measuring the quality of a weapon. One product is respected, and nine products are the end. Each product is divided into genuine and subordinate, with a total of 18 grades. There is no first, and there is no second. How can you not see the talent, who is good and who is bad in weapons, you can not know it by comparison?"

"Miss Ying is right. Ordinary weapons, the fifth and sixth grades are already very good. But the worst of the day was also the third grade, which shows that both sides are forging masters.

There was no first-grade sword in the Sanmou Palace, and fortunately, there was no fire rush that day. But after all, it is the power of the entire Huochong lineage, which is much stronger than the strength of the Sanmou Palace. Nine weapons, two are of the second grade, three are from the second grade, and the remaining four are all from the third grade.

At that time, the Bihai Craftsman Sect had already played out the sword embryo, and everyone could see it. The forging skill is very high, and it is very likely to be a heavy sword of the second grade. The Bihai Artisan Sect originally wanted to work harder, if the heavy sword could barely reach the 'first grade'. Your own weapons can be on the 'Craftsman Immortal' list, and the title can also be changed to 'Bihai Craftsman Immortal' instead of Craftsman. I'm afraid I won't get a second chance like this in my life.

But when he saw that the head of the Sanmou Palace was lost, he couldn't bear it, and his heart was crossed. actually divided the entire sword embryo into four and returned to the furnace. The mold was changed, and four swords were to be forged at the same time. This forging requires extreme concentration, and any small mistake will affect the grade. To forge four swords at the same time in a limited time, the difficulty is far greater than refining four swords successively.

At that time, when Huo Chong saw the actions of the Bihai Craftsman Sect, they all smiled.

On the side of Sanmou Palace, there were originally two weapons of the second grade, and even the heavy sword could be a very rare one-grade weapon. Even if Sanmou Palace loses the procurement list, it is not too embarrassing to say it.

The embryo body of the Bihai Craftsman Sect was originally fought according to the heavy sword, but now one sword is divided into four swords, and it has been changed to a long sword, and the quality of the four swords may only be from the second grade, and even the second grade cannot be reached. At that time, there are only three Mou Palaces: one is the second product, four are from the second product, and the rest are the third product, and the two are the second product of the fire chong vein, the third is from the second product, and the fourth is the third product. Or a loser.

The head of the Sanmou Palace was so calculating, and he also knew that the general trend had gone, so he was silent, seeing that the time was about to expire and the four swords had not yet been completed, he was looking forward to it and anxious. Fortunately, the four swords were forged before the deadline.

Four white swords, absolutely beautiful. Although he tried his best, he did say that the four swords failed to reach the second grade in the end, and the most regrettable thing is that one of the swords is very close to the second grade. If he is the second grade, then this competition can be a draw. It's a pity that it's just that step away.

When the Lord of the Ordnance Warden is about to announce the results of the game. The Bihai Artisan Sect shouted, 'Wait a minute!'

After saying that, he put the handle, which was almost at the level of the second grade, back into the fire, and it burned red. Then, under everyone's gaze, he swung his sword and stabbed himself in the heart. ”

When Li Bing and the three of them heard this, they all shuddered.

He stuck the sword in his chest, and he smiled at everyone present and laughed. He pulled out his sword violently, and the blood splashed the head of the Sanmou Palace.

He wiped the blade of the sword clean with a white cloth, and the blade returned to pure white, and even brighter. Looking at the quality of the sword, he laughed even more wantonly, vomited a mouthful of blood and laughed wildly at all the heads of the fire rushing vein, word by word: 'How's it going! Now! This sword is the second grade!'

After saying that, he died and fell to the ground.

This sword is not only the second grade, but also very close to the point of the first grade. Better than all other weapons. Let everyone believe that if that heavy sword is not divided into four, it is definitely a sword from the first grade.

In the end, the people of the armory supervisor declared the Sanmou Palace victorious, and got all the purchase orders for the next three years. ”

Hearing this, Li Bing and the three of them naturally guessed that these four swords were the four swords of "Wen Tao Wuluo" later.

"Although the best sword has not reached the first grade, it is a pity that it cannot be on the 'Craftsman Immortal List'. However, in this competition, the Bihai Craftsman Sect defeated four enemies with one and reversed the tide of the battle with the blood sacrifice sword. The four swords of 'Wen Tao Wuluo' were on the sword list, ranking ninety-seventh. ”

Song Wushuang was a little moved when she told the story, she turned her head and looked at Li Bing:

"Do you know which sword in this is which one is the second grade?"
